[KimRobinRisvi]

[mattiasmadis]

3:02 & 3:25

[ZaritaRose]

[WSamaelW]

"Hey let's quit it... sounds like shit! Thank you very much" hahahahaha AWESOME.

[justeu1]

@ksk583 the guys that I love:Johnny Depp and Ville Valo :)

[jem919]

the keyboard in this show way way too quiet. but other than that it sounds awesome

[SkillsOfADude]

always looks high...

[jmd11185]

wow this song sounds a lot like a finger eleven song

[L0V3I54GUN]

@jmd11185 which one

[raizo581]

love metal

[coffeetogo83]

he is sooo dammed beautiful hrrrrr I love Ville and his sexy, sexy, sexy voice soooo much

[RichieKoala]

that song isnt about brandon novak. its about one of Ville's friends who died of a drug over dose. he says so on some of the interview in 2005.

and as for Mige's bass, the shit just fucked up haha. but damn you gotta love this band!

[coffeetogo83]

@RichieKoala

yes i have heard something like this... sad Ville

[L0V3I54GUN]

@RichieKoala wats the link to the interview

[Hrafn22]

I don´t know why they stopped?! I can tell you that I´ve seen many live performances by HIM on the web and how they played this one song Killing Loneliness was awesome! Though his voice was once fading, once too high thanks to failure of technique but guys fit all the notes on time and it all perfectly fit together. Maybe HIM didn´t think so...

[sunesen88]

@Hrafn22 The reason why they stopped in the middle of the song, is that the song is about one of his old friends who died of a drug overdose.

He said in a interview after the concert, that he wasn't able to continue playing the song to the end, because of all the feeling that was in this song.

[Hrafn22]

@sunesen88 but why did Migé throw the bass away?!

[marlymac]

@Hrafn22 I believe they stopped the song because Mige's bass was cut off, which is why he eventually threw it as he was visibly annoyed.

[MrThorn88]

@sunesen88 You speaking shit, R U blind and deaf? Mige's bass was fucking up and that's the reason.Peace out:)

[sunesen88]

@MrThorn88

Only know what Ville said in an interview.

[CrystalMarieTries]

@sunesen88 The song's about Brandon Novak, and he isn't dead, thank the Good Lord! Brandon Novak's had a hard life, and Ville Valo wrote this about his life and his addictions to drugs. His story is truly heartbreaking. ):

And maybe he meant that feeling in a bad way? That he was upset about Mige's bass? :P Just saying.

[SheenaAlexis]

@sunesen88 umm yea the song is about brandon novak who is his friend and who has overdosed but didnt endup dieing thank god...but they stopped the song because mige's bass was fucking up..you can hear ville say "'it sounds like shit" ...thats why...

[SheenaAlexis]

@meganluvsville The lyrics are actually the venomus kiss "you" gave me...not she....judging by your name you should have known that....but eitherway i will let that one go,im not an asshole..."the venomus kiss you gave me" meaning something bad for you but you cant stop or even want to...and killing your lonliness with it whether its a person or even a "drug" there usually always a hidden meaning etc to villes lyrics hes to deep and poetic to just give it straight and boring

[JaceMichael123]

@meganluvsville Ville confirmed that it was inspired by Novak. Novak also has "Killing Loneliness" tattooed on his hip.

[SheenaAlexis]

@JaceMichael123 chest too!! :)

[JaceMichael123]

@sunesen88 Umm definitely not. I thought it was pretty clear. They stopped playing because the bass went out.

[JaceMichael123]

@Hrafn22 They stopped playing because the bass went out and it sounded like shit.

[specialness16]

awww I wish the bass hadn't cut out, this would've my favourite version of killng loneliness, oh well :P

[hellokitty101123]

its tooo QUIET! thats why he stopped the song its the damn techi's fault!

[tarabuttercup]

is it just me or in this video, ville seemed to have gained weight? did something happen to him? i am so used to seeing thin stick thin.

[PhoeniXCE]

@tarabuttercup He was a bit bigger during this time, probably due to his spiralling drink addiction at the time.

[TheJosh805]

whys no one jumping about? i would have :)

[strifegirl93]

I dont think he likes doing concerts during the day....

[jeffrey6046]

ive heard 3 songs of this concert now and the best song played so far was vampire heart but HIM rocks

lady gaga could learn from them as well as most other bands

[victorandrada]

did you see how mige flipped out and throw the bass at a tech because hes bass is cut off 3:05  #EPIC

[lopaaki]

NO! Johnny Depp look like Ville Hermanni Valo :)

[smrtkoala]

wait... what sound like shit?

[patpock]

@smrtkoala Yeah i didnt get that part. I went to one of thier concerts in may and i can kinda tell ville is reall picky about his songs sounding perfect cause he was having a fit with the guys back stage that were in charge of the amps

[FOFT15]

Does he really have to smoke in the middle of a song? Man that pisses me off. Good song though.

[Vegsin]

I wonder how he can still sing after all those "cigarets"...you know?

PS:good song though xD

[Azakittie]

well ville always have sayed that the cigarretes are his way to get his voice, like the pedalboard of any guitar player... so i dont care the cigarretes when he sings

[skater0628]

@FOFT15  I like Villo smoking in the middle of the song

[lasusell]

With the venemous kiss u gave me i'm killing loneliness ....... aahhhh!!! lovely song he reminds me of someone :)

[eddiebrock9]

"Sounds like shit" |: Ville is so pessimist.

[strifegirl93]

@eddiebrock9 Well you can't be a perfectionist otherwise... :)

[loonaloonyluvgood]

funny to see mige walking just like that on the stage..

[crittoprrr]

Did bass died?

[Sphyshious]

i dont think they wanna play without someone, respect bro

[DaveSwayer]

@x3mrocker yeah your right i think it was in 2:28 were the bass stoppe working i noticed that, and the guy took off his instrument!

[x3mrocker]

I think he said it sounds like shit because the bass stopped working :D What are you guys listening to? Didn't you notice it

[GhostAvenger397]

ville... it doesnt sounds like shit, it sounds like heaven

[LegolasHIMM]

sounds good ville !

[therev1990162]

[dookiekore123]

HIM is the best band of Rock...

[therev1990162]

[whorocksirock316]

my fav HIM song saw them at projekt rev 07 and they were amazing ville was smoking a cig through out the whole set and drinking a cup of vodka he's the man love HIM!

[RichieKoala]

poor mige, his bass went out! but HIM is still the best

[kaydoll21]

I am sooo dying to see them live!!!

[loonaloonyluvgood]

yes i'm in love with that ending really interesting

[cupiiid]

Cool ending, never seen a live artist do that before ; )

But he smokes to much ;p

[AbudAisham]

this song taste like marshmellow become of god

[vampireheart115]

Are you stupid dudes?

The bass was fucked up and at 3:04 the bass player throws the bass the crew

and then the band played without the bass and it really sounds like shit

[fallonvalo]

We obviously arn't as genius as you are.

Yeah right.

[hukkunut]

Your right. people are too concerned about Ville. It really sounds like crap if you can't hear the bass.

[ksk583]

he looks like Johnny Depp

[loonaloonyluvgood]

hehe you need to see the 2001 rock am ring he was acting just like jack sparrow no offence i love them 2

[MickyJDHubiHarvey]

@ksk583 No, Johnny Depp looks like him! :p ;o)

[cupiiid]

@MickyJDHubiHarvey

Johnny depp was born first, so no. He looks like johnny depp

[IamLisaYo]

@ksk583 Lmao. I ALWAYS say this to everyone, but they don't think so, but he totally does. Lol.

Not a bad thing

[cuvautoofficial]

@ksk583 Johnny Depp looks like HIM.

[Hrafn22]

I don´t understand what the hell was wrong?! This is one of the best performances by HIM I have ever seen. Every instrument fitted in place, every note at its place. Even Vile hit his notes clearly...

[fallonvalo]

That's what I was thinking. It was an excellent performance.

[blackmetal87m]

boah wie die gitarre scheppert^^

[Falestar]

Темка) видео Хорошее)

[vickoxriot]

Killing Loneliness the best!!

[coffeetogo83]

@vickoxriot

yes yes yes I love this song sooo much thx u

[bamgarrido]

VILLE LOOKED FAT

[viktoria308]

i love him!!!!!!!!!!!its amazing!!!!!!!!1

[3Massakaman]

lol he just threw it away xD

[3Massakaman]

lol wtf why is he stopping??

[hukkunut]

Cause Mige's bass broke.

[reockerboy96]

whene 2:05?

[kali3495]

i love HIM especially Ville Valo ... and i hope to see them live! of course the song is amazing...

[nubxy]

lol he is such a badass...smoking while preforming

[bendinggreenvans]

just like, listen to the intro of this and then the intro of the other one and you'll see what i mean :P

[bendinggreenvans]

it's not the sound i don't think. i mean if you compare this live version to the one on dvd, it's actually in pitch xxxx

[bendinggreenvans]

lower*

[gilllie666]

imagine if these guys could put their lives into perspective and realize their lives are awesome, lol then their music would suck but its ironic

[bendinggreenvans]

wow, they played killing lonelines a few tones higher here, check out killing loneliness from rock am rig 2008, it's a lot lower :?

[666obito666]

si

i dont know why but they changed the tone

[gilllie666]

nah i believe its just the production values, probably different people recording the differing sets

[hukkunut]

They canged the tone, cause the lower the tone is, the further it goes.

[bendinggreenvans]

how do you mean?

[hukkunut]

Well you know the things with the bass. You can hear it from long distanses clearly the best. But when the whole band has a lower tone you can hear other instruments well too from 2 kilometers. :D

[CyanideSun1294]

Nah, it's because since about 200z, Mige and Linde tune their guitars a half step down when playing live. This way they can just use power chords a half step high for songs played in Drop D and making it so they don't have to tune or switch guitars on stae

[bendinggreenvans]

ahh right, yeah coz Venus Doom sounds like it's in drop d. I would have thought they'd have a few different guitars though, oh well

[bendinggreenvans]

then again, even the new stuff off Venus Doom sounds lower :/ oh well...

[kiwilazer]

some songs like 'buried alive by love and soul on fire need to be played with full energy, if they play it half arsed isnt as good, but I can understand they must get bored of playing the same stuff, none the less amazing band!!!

[slipknotpunk8815]

i've seen HIM like 3 times and each performance changes, sometimes they suck but other times they completely kick ass

[kali3495]

HIM always rockz! and never sucks...

[johnnyoxley]

fuck off there sick live i saw then in sydney last year and they rocked

[hukkunut]

What did Mige do with his bass anyway? :D

[DisapointedLove]

the bass broke -.-

[hukkunut]

And Miges face is like "Goddammit, I quit" at 2:55

[hukkunut]

I mean 2:33

[DanQuijote777]

is there another video that shows what happens then? i men, after ville stopping the song?

[TheRareFew]

ville needs to try to quit smoking...its not the way it looks or anything...just concerned about his health =/

[shyakun90]

at 3:05

the tech guy was scared as hell!!

lol!

[thibjess006]

damn... that technical problem really sucks... but if I was on this stage, I would've kept playing anyways, and just finish the song at least...

[JukkaLover]

Lol at the end!!! POOR MIGE!!!

[himlovesmetal]

Mige´s bass broke, as you can see, he throws his bass away and if you listen really good could you could even hear it.

There´s nothing wrong with ville´s performance. Shit happens, even the best musicians could have some problems with the gear.

[Nolanator6]

wow, the bass dude just randomly stoped playing in the second verse, what kind of bitch stops playing at the rock am ring?!?!??

[zombiezohmygod]

if you watch you can realize that his bass broke. He also looks VERY pissed about it at around 2:32 or 2:33.

[ben8boom]

lets quit it, it sounds like shit lol

[GothicRomance777]

He was kinda sulking and he seemed not to be enjoying singing. What a face! It is unusual for him to get angry like that.

[HIMfanz]

he stoped i think cuz midge and burton wernt singing so he got mad!!!

[cjhsrox]

i think its because the bass broke and he didnt like he so he stoped it

[GhostOfXmas]

Truthfully, he probably stopped because he couldn't sing anymore because he needed more time to breathe.

[GothicRomance777]

Why did he stop it?

[mbanda07]

i think he stoped because everyone has bad days and personally his singing was not one of his best performances, you can see his face not enjoyin since the begining
